7:54Now PlayingAt least 235 people have been killed and 4,300 injured in powerful back-to-back earthquakes that hit Venezuela on Wednesday.
Many more people are feared dead, with others left homeless or too afraid to stay in damaged, unsafe buildings sleeping in the streets after the disaster.
Rescuers are searching the rubble in Caracas and the state of La Guaira for the second night, and people have been heard calling for help from under the debris of collapsed buildings.
The quakes, with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, hit a minute apart. The second was the strongest to hit Venezuela since 1900.
